neck hurts... can i microwave a towel?

my neck hurts. I slept on it the wrong way... can i microwave a towel and use the heat to sooth my neck?
or will the towel incinerates or something?
Im trying to think of away to apply something warm on my neck to make it feel better...

Heh, I woke up with a sore neck too. I hate it. It hurts so much when I turn my head to the right. What I used was a sock filled with rice I believe, which you put in the microwave for 1min until it gets toasty, then put it on your neck, but have a shirt in between it and your neck so you don't get burned.

Stop supporting monopolistic companies like Bell and Rogers if you want positive change in the Canadian telecommunications industry.

oohh.... makes sense.. the rice would probably retain the heat.
but DAMN are there other effective ways to treat this and cure it? i gotta work tmrw... early morning stock processing too, so i gotta do some lifting.
